PZC Meets Its Mentors from CCBO

The journey of Project Eco Kolek has always been rooted in collaboration and shared vision. Last week, this spirit of co-creation became even more meaningful as the Project Zacchaeus (PZC) team welcomed our mentors from USAID’s Clean Cities, Blue Ocean (CCBO) Program.

Their visit was more than just a meeting—it was a reminder that we are not walking this path alone. Through their guidance, encouragement, and expertise, our mentors continuously help us refine our strategies, build stronger community partnerships, and amplify our impact in addressing plastic pollution and advancing circular economy solutions here in Puerto Princesa.

For our team and Eco-Warriors on the ground, these visits from CCBO serve as a source of strength and validation. It shows us that our efforts, no matter how challenging, are seen, valued, and supported by global partners who believe in grassroots solutions.

We are grateful for the time, wisdom, and energy they share with us. Together, we are empowering communities, transforming waste collection systems, and protecting the oceans that sustain us all.

Thank you, CCBO, for standing with us—hand in hand—as we build a cleaner, more sustainable future for Palawan and beyond.
